Where I'm From
By Jacob Scriffiny


I'm from the planet Earth
that I belong in
as well as Littleton, Colorado
I'm from those soccer fields full of green 'blade sharp' grass
the slow motion of the ball blasting out fire behind itself
and the white speckled net in the exploding sun rays of Saturdays
I'm from the 'UNREALS'
the impossibles
and most importantly, the fighters


I'm from California
the sandy beaches
then the Space Needle and the Museum of Science and Astronomy
from all the back to home
I'm from the Competitive ONLY series
only 'tries' work here
the NO GIVE UP
that's the world I'm from


I'm from the city, to the state, to the country, the continent, the the Earth
as it was said, “Where am I from”
this is EXACTLY where I started the journey of my unbelievable life
